About Wirecutter
Wirecutter helps people buy the right things for the way they want to live. The site was founded by journalists in September 2011 and was acquired by The New York Times Company in October 2016. We make our recommendations through vigorous reporting, interviewing, and testing by teams of veteran journalists, scientists, and researchers. Consider us a best-of list for everyday things, a curated gallery filled with only interesting and useful objects, a thank-you note to the designers and engineers who create the stuff that makes people’s lives better, a geeky friend with next-level research skills who tests everything they buy so you don’t have to. The point is to make it easier to buy great gear, quickly, so you can get on with living your life.
We pride ourselves on following rigorous journalistic standards and ethics, and we maintain editorial independence from our business operations. Our editorial team always makes our recommendations entirely without input from our revenue team, and our writers and editors are never made aware of any business relationships. Wirecutter is mission driven and reader supported.
